impact
“Musical teaching and learning is not neat or linear. The strands of musical learning, presented within the lesson plans and the on-screen resources, are part of the learning spiral. Over time, children can both develop new musical skills and concepts, and re-visit established musical skills and concepts as they shift along the spiral learning curve. Repeating a musical skill doesn’t necessarily mean their progress is slowing down or their development is moving backwards. It's just shifting within the spiral. Mastery means both a deeper understanding of musical skills and concepts and learning something new.”
Charanga scheme
We measure the impact of music in many different ways.
-
Through simple questions and answers
-
Listening and responding to the music verbally and through movement
-
Internalising the pulse, rhythm and pitch of a piece of music using movement
-
Developing a musical vocabulary and using the terminology within the correct context
-
Call and response activities
-
The impact is also measured through key questions, self-assessment opportunities and summative assessments.
